"You go busting your fist against a stone wall,
|
you're not using your brain. That's what the white man wants you to do.
|
Look at you! What makes you ashamed of being black?"
|
|
(Nothing but love for you my sister)
|
Might even know how hard it is (no doubt)
|
Being a woman, a black woman at that? (no doubt)
|
Shit - in this white man'z world
|
Sometimes we overlook the fact that we be riding hard on our sisters
|
we don't be knowing the pain we be causing (in this white man'z world)
|
In this white man'z world.. I ain't saying I'm innocent in all this
|
I'm just saying (in this white man'z world)
|
This song is for y'all
|
For all those times that I messed up or we messed up
|
|
|
Dear sister
|
Got me twisted up in prison
|
I miss yah
|
Crying
|
Looking at my nieces and my nephews picture
|
They say don't let this cruel world get yah
|
Kinda suspicious,
|
Swearing one day you might leave me
|
for someone that's richer
|
Twist the cap off the bottle
|
I take a sip and see tomorrow
|
Gotta make if I have to Beg and Borrow
|
Reading love letters
|
late night, locked down, and quiet
|
If brothers don't receive their mail
|
Best believe we riot
|
Eating Jack mat
|
Staring at walls of Silence
|
Inside this cage
|
Where they captured all my rage and violence
|
In time I learned a few lessons
|
Never fall for riches
|
Apologies to my TRUE sisters
|
Far from bitches
|
Help me raise my black nation
|
Reparations are due
|
Its true
|
Caught up in this world
|
I took advantage of you
|
So tell the babies how I love them
|
Precious boys and girls
|
Born black in this white man'z world
|
and all I heard was
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Who knows what tomorrow brings
|
In this world where everyone lies
|
Where to go
|
No matter how far I find
|
To let you know
|
That You're not alone
|
|
Being born with less
|
I must confess
|
Only adds on to the stress
|
Two gunshots to my homie's head
|
Died in his vest
|
Shot him to death
|
and Left him bleeding for his family to see
|
I pass his casket
|
Gently asking
|
Is there heaven for G's?
|
My homeboys doing life
|
Baby mama be stressing
|
Shedding tears
|
When her son finally ask that questions
|
Where my daddy at?
|
Mama, Why we live so poor?
|
Why you crying?
|
Heard you late night
|
Through my bedroom door
|
Now do you love me mama?
|
Why do they keep calling me nigger?
|
Get my weight up, with my hate
|
and pay 'em back when I'm bigger
|
Still thuggin' in this jail cell
|
Missing my block
|
Hearing brothers screaming all night
|
Wishing they'd stop
|
Proud to be black
|
But why do we act like
|
We don't love ourselves
|
Don't look around
|
busta (you sucka)
|
Check yourselves
|
know what if means to be black
|
whether a man or girl
|
we're still struggling in this
|
White man'z world
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
(we must fight)
|
Who knows what tomorrow brings
|
In this world where everyone lies
|
Where to go
|
No matter how far I find
|
To let you know
|
That You're not alone
|
|
So tell me why you changed
|
Choosing new direction
|
In a blink of an eye
|
My time away just made perfection
|
You think I'd die
|
Not gonna cry
|
Why should I care
|
Like we holding on to love
|
That's no longer there
|
Can you please help me
|
God Bless me please
|
Keep my seeds healthy
|
Making all my enemies Bleed
|
While my G's wealthy
|
Hoping they bury me
|
With ammunition, weed, and shells
|
Just in case they trip in heaven
|
Ain't no G's hell
|
Sister sorry for the pain
|
That I caused your heart
|
I know I'll change
|
If yah help me
|
But don't fall apart
|
Rest In Peace
|
To Latasha, Little Yummy, and Kato
|
To much for this cold world to take
|
Ended up being fatal
|
Every women in America
|
Especially Black
|
Bear with me, can't you see
|
We're under attack
|
I never meant to cause drama
|
To my sister and Mama
|
Will we make it
|
To better times
|
|
In this white man'z world
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Along with revolutionary talking]
